Mine was 3 protein shakes a day with about 4 oz lean meat, 1 cup veggies, and 1/2 cup greek yogurt also included per day. I only had to do the pre-op diet one week prior to surgery but I started about a week and a half out.

Well, it's back to real life tomorrow. I'm returning to work. I wonder if anyone will notice that I've lost weight? I'm going to have to get a new routine down to get my walking and meal prep in. I think I'm going to take egg whites with cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese tomorrow for my meals and see how that goes. I should be able to get a half hour walk in for my lunch break as long as I go early to beat the heat. No issues with any foods still. Starting next week, I can do exercise other than walking. I think I'll start out slow with a Jillian Michael's weight lifting DVD and maybe do some jogging intervals during my walks. I can also move to the next stage in my diet and start incorporating more foods! So I was trying to figure out whether I had anything nice enough to wear to an interview, just to be prepared since I've started applying for jobs. I can't believe how many shirts are too loose already! Not that I had many shirts that would work anyway, since we can wear casual clothing at my current job. I did end up ordering a new shirt to wear from Kohls, but I got a good deal on it. I also had to order a pair of close toed dress shoes but got a great deal on those too. I have a couple Lularoe skirts that will work with my new shirt and shoes, so hopefully that will tide me over until fall. I just don't want to have to scramble to find something that fits last minute if I get a call for an interview. My cousin actually is friends with a manager at one of the places I applied, so I'm pretty confident I'll get an interview there. I really hope so anyway! -
Fiber insoluble vs soluble
GreenTealael replied to wade5901's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have a dry gallon of them on my counter (they have been there for 6 months no issue -1/3 of the way done now) so I add them to everything, dry.I cook then into bean dishes, falafel, salmon croquettes, smoothies, on yogurts, in salads. I add a dry sprinkling to almost everything (they fluff up quickly depending on the food it's added to) that hempseed, and tumeric goes into almost everything I eat. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167 -
Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
Bellasoo replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started on full liquids in the hospital. Day three it was. I had soupy cream of wheat, yogurt, and when I got home I started my shakes. -
I’m about 10 days post op and have definitely used my immersion blender more than my vitamix. Unless you are making large batches of soups or smoothies, the immersion blender is way more useful for emuslifying soups, etc. That said, I have used my vitamix to puree stews and fruit with stevia (so I can add some lower cal sweetness to plain nonfat greek yogurt). I freeze the puree in silicone ramekins so I can store them in a zip lock bag and take out small portions. Hope that helps!

Just had my surgery on July 16th 2018
Letsgetgoing2018 replied to mayravgonzalez's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’m bored. I’m having moments of extreme hunger. Have three kids at home I cook for. I wanted chicken nuggets so badly yesterday but I’m having talks with myself and keeping full withh protein shakes, yogurt, cottage cheese, and soups. Boring but looking at the big picture. Tried eggs a couple days ago and they came back up. Hoping to try again this week. I am waiting to see a big change in my shape and notice weight loss-as are the people around me I’m sure. I just have to remember it’s a process. Some people loose really quickly others more slowly. I have to up my exercise game as soon as my soreness eases up a little bit. -
11 days post op and frustrated
Letsgetgoing2018 replied to Letsgetgoing2018's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Hi there. Yes. Full liquids. Tried yogurt. I have to try different soups to give me more variety. I am missing meat. That’s the issue. I want to eat meat and I know that’s not happening. -
How to make cottage cheese and plain yogurt interesting?
ElusiveQuality replied to AEdoesRnY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'll second the recommendation on syrups. Also, water enhancers like the Hawaiian Punch flavoring work great in yogurt. For cottage cheese, cinnamon and stevia work well. For savory, I'd suggest garlic salt. -EQ -

sillykitty replied to Letsgetgoing2018's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Yogurt? SF jello with yogurt? Laughing cow cheese? How many soups have you tried? Ethnic soups like hot and sour or Tom Yum? Pacific Brand or Trader Joe's brand Tomato with Roasted Pepper in an aseptic box was a particular favorite of mine. Can you do full liquids? I made lentil soup and pureed it. -
Double question about soft foods and miralax
Dfox1984 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi! I’ve been on soft foods for about a week and a half. I’m a SUPER picky eater so I keep eating the same things (eggs, yogurt, promier protein). I don’t want to gain weight by eating mashed potatoes every day. That sounds stupid, right? I’m only eating 4 bites of food, how could I gain weight? But I haven’t lost hardly any weight and this coming Tuesday I’ll be 4 weeks post op. Idk hat to do. Can I get some soft food suggestions? I was all excited bc in the binder my doc office gave me it said two weeks soft food and when I had my palsy op appt they said 8 weeks!!! I’m so sad so any soft food tips or ideas of soft foods would be great. Ok second question: does miralax not work for some people? I took it two days ago and barely pooped at all! Isn’t it supposed to make me poop a lot? Like get it all out? Thanks for any help or suggestions!!!! -
Confessional - Lets post our cheats/confessions/etc so others can see that we are all human
QTRNY2018 replied to Matt Z's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I didn’t have a pre op diet, only the day before was all clear liquids. I don’t know how folks did this for 2 weeks! I was light headed from one day of it. Flash to post op.... I never puréed anything. I did have yogurt, mashed potatoes, and soups, things that were naturally smooth. But mentally I couldn’t do the meats in smoothie form. I just chewed A LOT. Some other cheats- I went to McDonalds about 3 weeks post op. I figured the food (fries) was squishy enough and I could chew it down. The first few bites were heaven. Then about 15 minutes later I got incredibly sick. That was the last of that. Also, when I progressed to soft foods, I tried chicken wings- a pre op favorite. I ate about 1.5 wings before I was sick to my stomach. It tasted so good going down.... not as much coming back up. I found a low calorie, high protein ice cream I eat fairly often. I’ve never felt sick from it and it’s been refreshing on these hot summer days. So... definitely not perfect. I hit a stall my 3rd week but once I incorporated more exercise the weight started falling off again. Trying to stick to proteins and cooked vegetables now and I’ve been pretty good. -

Thanks for the info churchgirl, missb_fit_2018 and purple girl. I am on a restricted diet for the first month of post op. Directed by dr and dietician. After next Thursday, I’ll be on a soft food diet, and after that I’m free to go. It’s hard protein drinks aren’t so bad, I love chocolate premier protein. It’s just hard for dinner at social outings. It’s hard to finish a full glass of water. Since the whole rule about waitin 30 mins before eating or after eating to drink water. I went to the store to buy those magnesium pills. :) and I bought some activia yogurt. I walk at the gym now. I’m still on my period! Gosh can’t it go away already!!! 😬 But I’ll keep trucking, it’s marathon, not a sprint I must remind myself this! -
Might be better to get some plain Greek yogurt (I like FAGE but there are many) and just add your own non sugar sweetener of choice (Splenda, stevia) or DaVinci syrup. Also, since the berries have natural sugar maybe you don't even need sweetener in the yogurt. Most dairy is going to have some natural sugar (lactose) but if you see sugar, corn syrup, dehydrated cane juice or anything else fishy it is best to pick something else. Not sure about why the premier protein shake is in there. 43G of protein seems a little high for 1 meal in my opinion. And 49 carbs is also a little steep. I would be starving in a couple of hours after that burned off....

I mix FAGE Total 2% plain yogurt with 20g of Protein with Bio Chem unflavored whey protein 20g. I don't taste the protein powder. There's no gritty texture. In fact, it's richer and creamier now. If I hadn't been the sneaky culprit who spiked my own yogurt, I'd never notice the protein powder in there. After my post-op protein struggles, I'm finally getting some protein. Still not the recommended amount, but a whole lot more than before.

I have not tried those, I have tried the Protein 2.0 and the premier clear. They actually make me thirstier. I have Quest on the way to try those. I am doing yogurt, but I worry since I can't eat the whole thing that I'm still lacking in protein. Even putting the flavorless in foods, when I don't finish it, am I really getting much protein? I have tried those two clear ones, premier protein, and the protein shots. Like I said, I have quest on the way, but it seems most protein hits my stomach really hard. Should I try another type of protein? Thanks!

Full liquids 10 days post op

At 10 days I was not allowed eggs. I could do broth, sugar free popsicles, yogurt, cottage cheese & apple sauce only. -
2018 Study: bariatric surgery only partially improves gut microbe diversity
Creekimp13 replied to Born in Missouri's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You can improve your gut microbiota significantly by eating fermented foods. Sauerkraut, Miso paste, tempeh (bleh!..lol), yogurt, pickles, kefir, olives, Kimchi....awesome natural probiotics. Good gut bacteria need fiber to live. Shoot for about 25g per day if you're a woman (more if you're a man) Feed your gut bugs beans, barley, fruits with skins on, raspberries, nuts, figs, avacado, veggies Most of all....eat lots and lots of diversity. When I make a smoothie, I go around the kitchen and add a little of everything. A grape, a few raspberries, a few spinach leaves, one of each kind of nut in my cupboard, a little piece of banana, avacado, a piece of carrot, Anything I think I can get away with.....that doesn't make it undinkable. LOL. Lots of gut bug diversity...matters. Sugar and processed foods boost populations of the worse bacteria, they'll crowd out the better bacteria...and they'll add to rebound hunger...because they'll get hungry and want sugar too. If you eat sugar and processed crap for a treat? Rebalance. Get some good stuff in ya ASAP. Put a pause in there and let your good bugs recover. I know this all sounds like witchcraft....but there's gonna be some amazing developments in gut microbiome research. My own personal testimony about this nonsense... I was stalled for about three weeks... 3 months out. My kiddo who is studying microbiology at the University of Michigan had just attended a seminar on this research and suggested adding natural probiotics to my diet (not the pills...just the foods) and feeding the right bugs with more fiber...increasing dietary diversity. Can't say for certain there's causation....but within a couple weeks of doing this, I started losing well again and have been losing steadily since. I really think there's something to this. -
My diet is pretty similar to Fluffy's, and I simply don't understand @CreekImp13's continuing insistence that a healthy diet can't be lowish carbs. Heck, with our tiny stomachs, our diets are lowish everything! I aim for <50g carbs a day in veges, fruit, cottage cheese, greek yogurt. There's room there for occasional beans, rice, lentils and hearty bread, but I do keep those portions small of necessity in order to meet protein and vege/fruit goals (only so much room in the new tummy!). I find that I don't have the volume to rely on beans and legumes as a major source of protein, unless I supplement with protein shakes, which I feel isn't a good long-term solution for me. My plates are full of delicious, healthy stuff and my food plan feels very sustainable. ETA: I also think we should all as a rule at least aim to be in the "normal" weight range as there is amply evidence that "overweight" carries significant health risks.

I’m in somewhat of a similar situation. I went from around 315 to 235 very rapidly. And then I’ve just stopped...hung there...and am still there. I would like to lose more, but my clinic is happy with where I’m at and is not urging me to try to lose more. That’s one question I have for you. What does your followup team say about where you’re at? As for food ideas: my dietician insists on me doing 6 meals a day @ 200-250cals... Mostly protein; I eat things like: 2 eggs w/ salsa and some cheese Container of yogurt with tablespoon of granola for crunch Flax wrap with 2 slices of cheese 2 Asada tacos with 3” tortillas and salsa Variety of salads w/ protein on top: boiled egg, chicken, or tofu Lentils, bean soup, beans w/ brown rice - 1/2 to 3/4 cup worth Protein shake with espresso in it Also...like others have said...drinking calories is an easy way to bump things back up. Black coffee not coffee with milk or syrup. Water not milk or juice or pop. etc These were hard ones for me to wean away from. Finally - don’t get down on yourself. Our bodies have a majestic way of defending weight. They are crafty suckers and adapt adapt adapt adapt to our every whim. You have had decades of hard work to wire your body to think it needs to store fat and ramp down metabolism. You aren’t going to change it overnight...and you might not change it ever. It’s part of being human. Give yourself some grace. Best! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’m on day 4 of my pre-op diet, I have a ton of cravings but other than that I feel like it’s pretty good so far. The weight loss has helped me stay motivated (down 7lbs as of this morning...) and I’m hoping that keeps me through the next 10 days! I had a big bowl of beef broth for dinner with some good seasonings in it, but since that was so low calorie now I’m starting to move toward bed and I’m only at 700 calories (even after my sugar free yogurts and a sugar free fat free pudding). I’m supposed to be having 1000 a day but I’m guessing being under one night is okay?

Ok so I tried to search first before starting this but had no luck. I was diabetic before surgery taking 80units of levimere twice daily and 1000mg metformin twice daily just to try and control my blood sugar. Gaining weight because of the medication. The big push for the bypass was because everyone believed that post surgery you tend to get rid of diabetes. Well up till last couple days my glucose readings have been 95-104 when I check. I checked a bit earlier and I had a spike of 145 which freaked me out. Its now 4wks post surgery all I had today was my triple zero yogurt that I generally have and 1 cracker with pb on it. I have had this before with out issues. Idk does it take time for diabetics to eliminate it post surgery? Or could the worst be happening and it’s coming back ?

Hey Lala70, Nope your not the only one I had my cycle twice with in 30 days as well and it was not fun. I upped my bought some vita-melt fiber pills and have been on them daily so that has helped keep me regular as well as the activa yogurt. I have one at least daily even i'm to afraid to stop taking either because i don't want to go back to the constipation stage. Now that your on the puree stage maybe you can this to your daily diet see if it helps. I haven't lost any weight since sunday but i was told to expect stalls while my body catches up with me so I won't worry to much. Going to try and attempt my first workout tomorrow and see if that helps push the scale some. I see some of you are on a calorie restriction. I wasn't given one by my Dr., is this coming from your Dr. or nutritionist? I need to go see mine i haven't been yet. -
All I can say is that prior to this, I was eating very well balanced meals. I was also obese and needed to cut carbs to generate a quick change for surgery. I wasn't necessarily eating more than 74grams on purpose. But I was eating less than 20 carbs per day and I still had severe proteinuria. All I'm saying, is that it *can* happen to people. Its not something you can just dismiss. And what I meant by the liver shrinking diet being more extreme than Keto.... in Keto you still get carbs from lactose, more so than the liver shrinking diet. I couldn't eat cheese or yogurt on my liver shrinking diet, but it is OK in a Keto diet.
